[Phys-l] Draft K-12 National Science Standard Open for Comment



Dear colleagues

I'm not sure if this has made it to this listserv yet; it's been
circulated among a few others.

From the press release at:

http://www8.nationalacademies.org/onpinews/newsitem.aspx?RecordID=07122010#

"DRAFT OF FRAMEWORK DESCRIBING KEY CONCEPTS IN K-12 SCIENCE EDUCATION
AVAILABLE FOR COMMENT

WASHINGTON — The National Research Council today released a draft
framework that proposes the science content and concepts students
should learn for grades K-12. The independent, nonprofit Research
Council is seeking comment on the draft from the science and education
communities and the public. The final framework will serve as the
basis for new science education standards, to replace those based on
documents developed over 10 years ago."

Here's a more direct link - at the bottom of the page you will find
links to the draft and to the survey soliciting feedback:
